While cushion will help with giving some protection to the ball of your foot, high heels will still alter the mechanics of your feet, ankles, and legs. For example, the Achilles tendon will still be held in a very shortened position which can lead to more foot problems down the road. While it's probably unreasonable to expect women to give up heels completely, I definitely recommend wearing them as little as possible and minimizing the amount of walking you do while wearing them. Take care, happy walking! Dr. Kalla Hi, Kelly, thanks for your question and forgive my slow response.
